Last year, somebody wanted to sue me. Actual "see you in court" words were spoken, and a couple of weeks later, I received legal notice. I was fortunate enough that the claims could not stand on their own, for a variety of reasons, and the thing never made it to court.
.
However, even though all the time I was perfectly aware that it was all most likely going to go away, I couldn't help my anxiety going through the roof. I was terrified. Not for myself, but for my family. I was aware that court and legal fees are no joke, and that lawsuits are life altering and potentially bankruptcy inviting situations. Every day, I would Google and research stuff, trying to reassure myself that I was going to be okay, only to fall prey to panic and fear.
.
One year later, I still can feel the anxiety creeping up my throat whenever I think back about this experience.
.
If you've seen my stories, and if you're following the whole IG yoga mess that has unfolded over the weekend, then you know why I'm bringing this up. My heart goes out to @nolatrees, because while I was fortunate enough to not have my personal situation evolve into an actual valid lawsuit, this hasn't been her case. Because I know how terrifying it is, and because I can't even begin to imagine the horror of actually being sucked into this vortex.
.
At this point, I don't care anymore about the rest of the story: I don't personally like any of the other involved parties - I don't find any to be better than the other (and I know this is not going to be the most popular opinion, but it's my opinion nonetheless). However, I am genuinely concerned for Dana @nolatrees - I am sharing her GoFundMe in my stories, so if you see it in your heart to donate, please help her get out of this nightmare. Nobody, deserves such an enormous lawsuit hanging over their head and potentially ruining their life forever. My heart goes out to her today.
